performing tasks in an iteration
Scrum Master: Responsible for coordinating the daily Scrum,
Asking the Questions, and Removing Impediments
Product Owner Representing the Client’s interest
Anyone else: Feel free to observe, but please don’t interrupt.

RULES FOR SCRUM
Time Boxed Meeting: Set an efficient time limit on the meeting,
preferably 10 to 15 minutes tops
Don’t be Late: It is a short meeting after all, being 2 or 3 minutes
late doesn’t help.
Phoning It In: If you can’t attend, provide the Scrum master with
your responses ahead of time.
Observers: Please keep your comments until the Scrum has
finished
